In our review of what organizations are doing to optimize recognition this year, we learned that innovators are focused on helping managers improve their ability to deliver meaningful recognition. As one recognition leader put it, “We have the technology infrastructure in place.

While widespread adoption of social recognition platforms has occurred, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 12.5% since 2018, the recognition programs and support delivered via these platforms become stale over time and need to be revitalized to remain fresh and relevant.

Employees typically share recognition through various methods such as face-to-face, through video, via email or eCard, a handwritten note card, a text or through their organization's recognition programs.

While recognition has a positive effect on morale, engagement and retention, many employees are uncomfortable being recognized. For some, they don't like being in the spotlight, for others they don't know how to react. Are you one of them?

Suppose you want your employees to give better recognition and have employees recognized more frequently than they are. You may want to think about transforming your organization's recognition strategy now for 2021 with a carefully thought out plan.

Making resolutions for the New Year is easy but sticking to them not so much. In addition to your standard resolutions, have you thought about adding some that focus on Employee Recognition? If you haven't in the past, now may be a good time to start.
